What is Boring Machine?
A boring machine is a machine which is used for boring large holes on the articles or work items which are not possible to move or rotate on the machine. It is one of the most useful machines which is used on heavy articles like engines, frames, cylinders, land etc. on which the operation of lathe and drilling machine is not possible.
What is Horizontal Boring Machine?
Horizontal boring machines are used to bore large holes in a horizontal direction. Horizontal boring machine is the heavy duty machinery which is used for the boring on large work items which are more in immovable nature, heavy, difficult to balance etc. And it performs multiple tasks like boring, turning, milling, cutting, grinding etc
Horizontal Boring Machine Vs Vertical Boring Machine
The Major Difference
The main difference between the vertical boring machines and the horizontal boring machine is the machine installation and configuration pattern. That means the positioning of operation tools and the placement of work item.
Vertical Boring Machine
In the vertical type of boring machine configuration, the operational tool is placed like normal lathe machinery and performs all the normal lathe machinery functions like cutting, turning, boring, threading etc.
Uses- Vertical boring machines are used in turbines, tires, pipelines, large frames, machine tables etc.
Horizontal Boring Machine
Horizontal boring machine is basically used when boring operation is to be performed on larger parts. In this machine, the spindle is positioned in horizontally and the spindle is placed in the parallel position to the table and ground both.
Uses- Horizontal boring machine is used in boring, shaping, facing, milling and drilling. One of the major uses is when parts are larger in size and crane is to be placed overhead.
Working of Horizontal Boring Machine
Horizontal Boring Machine remains static and the boring tool is rotated. Holes are bored by using boring bars and tools. To bore a hole, the boring tool is affixed on the spindle and the cutter is adjusted on the bar in a specifically required dimension. The major factor in boring is its required measure of the bore in length and sphere.
Parts and Functional Importance of Horizontal Boring Machine
The description and functional importance of parts of the horizontal boring machine is listed below
1. Bed
A bed is made of cast iron and affixed on the ground. It is placed in the position to support table and column.
2. Column for Supporting Headstock and Ends
The column is also made of cast iron and provides the support to the headstock and which is moved in an upward and downward direction through the sideways. The column supporting sideways or guide ways is placed at the bed.
3. Headstock
The headstock is placed on the support of the column and holds the operation tool. A headstock moves in an upward and downward direction for settling the operation tool on the required height of work.
4. Table
The table is used to support the work during the boring operation, it provides the T position for holding different parts of the boring machine.
5. Saddle
The saddle is that part which allows the work item to move in longitude motion on the bed. The saddle also controls the speed of movement through manual or motor is driven force.
6. Boring Bars
Boring bars are used to hold cutter, spindle, column for the boring operation and supports depends upon the level of boring operation like bore diameter, deep depth or short depth holes etc.
